=== Why use sites instead of datasets if datasets supports all of the sites input parameters and more? ===

When building map-based applications,​ there are fewer site objects to map, so marker drawing completes faster. ​ Also, because sites typically have many datasets, directly mapping datasets results in more overlapping markers. ​ If the client application does not provide a means of separating the markers, users will not be able to graphically select or interact with the stacked markers.
